Each month we will interview a guest speaker and also record a conversation discussing current issues contained in our blogs (see links below). This month we interviewed Ms Carol Bailey, senior lecturer at the University of Wolverhampton. Carol discusses her use of the text matching tool Turnitin, and how the system helps her detect and deter plagiarism and collusion. Carol also describes how her students learn about correct referencing and paraphrasing from the originality reports and the digital feedback she gives them. Click here for the interview with Ms Carol Bailey in full (19 minutes).
